Jenna People wrote in and said, There is a story going around on the Internet saying that the writers originally intended for Jim to have an affair with Cathy.

Angela No!

Jenna Yeah.

Angela No!

Jenna But that John Krasinski was so heavily against this idea that he convinced the writing staff to change their minds about the storyline. Is this true?

Angela Well, you would have never gone for that either.

Jenna Yeah. No.

Angela Uh no.

Jenna We can clear this up right now. Jim was never going to have an affair with or hook up with Cathy. However.

Angela There's a however?

Jenna There were things about the proposed storyline that did bump me and John. Here's how it all went down. So after we filmed Cathy's phone call at the end of Special Project, you know, where she's like talking to her friend and it becomes clear that she's going to go after Jim in Tallahassee. It comes out of the blue.

Angela Out of nowhere.

Jenna Well, that was a total record scratch for me and John. We kind of immediately went into Paul's office and we were like.

Angela Wha- wha- wha- what?!

Jenna Yeah, we were like, exactly, like where is this going? We said, There is no way that Jim can hook up with Cathy. And Paul was like, That is not part of our plan, I promise you. No, that's part of her plan. That's Cathy's plan. Jim is not in that plan. And I actually checked with Warren and Halstead, who wrote this episode, and they confirmed that it was never part of the plan. And, lady, don't ask me how I have it, but I have the original Goldilocks outline for this episode.

Angela You know why?

Jenna Why?

Angela Because you're my best friend. And we're both digital hoarders. You say it's really just me, But you have some old stuff you hold onto.

Jenna I have a few things.

Angela Now you hold on to things almost a little bit more intentionally, whereas mine is just like, you know, crazy clutter.

Jenna Yeah. Well, I did collect things that had to do with Jim and Pam.

Angela Yes.

Jenna And what the Goldilocks was, it was the kind of very first story outline for every script.

Angela Right. Before they went off and wrote anything.

Jenna Exactly. This was what the writers could use when they went to write the script. And it was based on everything that had been pitched. And this document had to be approved by the producers. There is nothing in the Goldilocks about Jim hooking up with Cathy for this episode. Nothing.

Angela So this is even more.

Jenna More proof.

Angela More proof.

Jenna Yes. When I talked to Warren about it, he said that the character of Cathy was always meant to be a kind of like provocateur. You know, you think about when she was introduced. Pam is really bothered that Jim won't admit that she's objectively attractive.

Angela Right.

Jenna But it was never pitched or it was never the intention that Jim would have any romantic feelings toward Cathy. It was always kind of understood by the writers that that was off limits. However.

Angela Another however.

Jenna Another however. In the very first drafts of this script, there was a lot more kind of teasing of the audience. Like, will he? Like, is he being charmed by her? Is he flirting back with her? Or is he just being a nice guy? Like in the version you see here, he is so clearly uncomfortable and is a giant no every time she does something. But in the original script, there was a little bit more like repartee.

Angela Hmm.

Jenna And John and I got to read that, and it really bumped us. We felt like even walking that line was a betrayal. And we did not want that for Jim and Pam's relationship. You know, the producers said that the idea was that they were putting temptation in front of Jim to show how committed he was to Pam. Those teases were more to create tension for the audience than they were to imply that Jim would ever do anything. But because we complained, they made some tweaks to make sure that it felt like this was 100% driven by Cathy and there would be no mixed signals from Jim. Like we didn't want there to be anything where it was like you could say, Well, Jim, you shouldn't have laughed with her in that moment, or you shouldn't have whispered in her ear during that conference room scene. Like, of course she's getting the wrong idea. Those are like examples of kind of the little things that she could have taken the wrong way.

Angela Right.

Jenna So the shooting draft of the script also included a scene where Pam calls Jim's hotel room on speakerphone and Cathy answers the phone.

Angela Oh, I know.

Jenna Yes, we shot it. It was written that Pam is really insecure about this. And even though it was really clear from Jim's side that he's really uncomfortable with Cathy in the room, Pam can't see that. So I didn't like that scene. I didn't like that Pam would become so easily insecure. Because, again, I felt like that pointed to a bigger issue in the marriage. And I asked them, like, How is that going to get resolved? Like, is Pam ever going to tell Jim her feelings?

Angela Yeah. What's the long term ripple effect of that moment?

Jenna Yeah. And there wasn't really an answer. They were like, Oh, it's not an arc. Don't worry. And I'm like, No, but if you're going to bring it up, it's- we should-

Angela It's out there.

Jenna It's out there. So. Yeah.

Angela Well, I watched that scene because it's in deleted scenes, and, you know, there is more to it. There's more to the phone call.

Jenna Yeah. I mean, some of that was a late night writing scramble. I was going to bring it up kind of like where it would happen in the breakdown. So we should definitely talk more about it. I mean, I still have more to say.

Helen Byler, MTS ’18

“It’s important—even if we don’t stay in the religious tradition we were raised in—to be grateful for it, whatever it is. God uses those traditions, those people, and the communities we were raised in to make us into the people we’re supposed to be.”

Helen Byler was born in Ireland and raised in the Shenandoah Valley of Virginia, where she now lives again after six years of exile in Idaho and Massachusetts. She graduated with her BA in liberal arts from New Saint Andrews College and her MTS in Jewish Studies from Harvard Divinity School. Helen is currently working on becoming more like Jesus and Jon Levenson, and spending as much time as possible with the two loves of her life: the Hebrew Bible and her fiancé, Caleb.

Life in a Mennonite Community

I grew up in a conservative Mennonite community in Virginia. One thing I value about my upbringing in the Mennonite church is the emphasis placed on scripture memorization. In school we memorized a number of books—1 Peter, most of Galatians, a lot of Psalms and Proverbs, the first few chapters of Genesis, the passion story from John, and the sermon on the mount, among other passages.

At home, we memorized a lot of scripture as a family. My mom would write scripture passages on big pieces of construction paper. She would cut out pictures from magazines and Sunday school books and paste them on the paper so we had pictures to go with the Bible verses. Before we were dismissed from the dinner table, we would read over a couple of passages and memorize them together. We would all have to recite the scriptures at some point before my mom would take down the passages we’d been working on and put up new ones. We would always get a chocolate bar for reciting the scriptures. I chose a Hershey’s white chocolate cookie bar every time.

Those passages we memorized as a family have been a comfort and a joy to me over the years—especially during the first few years after I moved away from home. When something is going wrong, the words come back to me. You can always go find those words in the Bible, but there’s something special about having them in your mind. They come back to you when you’re struggling, when you’re tired, when you’re depressed. God brings them back to you in the times you need them the most.

One of my favorites is from Lamentations 3: “It is of the Lord’s mercies that we are not consumed, because his passions fail not. They are new every morning: great is thy faithfulness.” That passage has come back to me so many times. Having those promises of God in my head, at the ready when I need them, has been such a gift.

Gratitude for My Upbringing

I left the Mennonite church my senior year of college, and I thought that the phase after leaving would somehow be magically different. But I take that tradition with me wherever I go. And I’m so incredibly grateful. I didn’t realize how grateful I was for the way I was raised, for the community I had in the Mennonite church, and leaving is a decision that I’ve second-guessed many times since.

It’s important—even if we don’t stay in the religious tradition we were raised in—to be grateful for it, whatever it is. God uses those traditions, those people, and the communities we were raised in to make us into the people we’re supposed to be.

Working in Home Hospice

I’ve been working in home hospice care since my senior year of high school, for about six years now. Growing up, families would hire you simply because you were Mennonite. They trusted that the Mennonites wouldn’t steal and that they wouldn’t mistreat their loved one who needed care. I started working because I needed money for college. I was able to work night shifts and go to high school during the day. I was usually able to sleep enough at night that I could survive school the next day. I worked a couple of nights a week.

For college, I moved to Idaho. There were no Mennonites in that community, but because I had work experience from high school, I was able to get a live-in job in Troy, Idaho. I moved in with a woman to take care of her. I still can’t believe I did this, but my parents and I drove across the country and I moved in with someone I had never met to do a job I had found on Craigslist.

She didn’t want me there at first. It took a few weeks for us to get used to each other. I had an apartment in her basement. I would cook her meals; after school, I’d spend a few hours with her before she went to bed, and I would leave for school before she got up in the morning. After she got used to me being there, we built a beautiful friendship and she became like family. I took care of her for three years until she passed away during my junior year of college. That was one of the best experiences of my life—learning to live with someone, to take care of someone that doesn’t want to be taken care of but that needs help, learning to respect someone’s privacy when you’re in their home.

“Practical” Work

I’m still doing home hospice work now. I work mostly overnights so I can go to school during the day. It’s hard to balance work and school. But when I started college, I knew I was going into a field that was not seen as very practical, and I wanted to also do work that would let me serve in practical, hands-on ways.

Growing up, there was a strong emphasis on hard work and practicality. Mennonites are very practical—you learn how to be a housewife, to cook, to clean. My dad’s business is making storage sheds. A lot of Mennonites are farmers. It’s a lot of work focused on the basics of living—and living simply—and my choice to attend a liberal arts college was probably seen as really out there. I was reading The Aeneid in Latin, I was studying theology and philosophy and art history and history of mathematics—all of these things that seem so theoretical. People asked why I would spend money to do that. So going into college, I wanted something that would keep me grounded, that would let me keep serving in a practical way, so I wouldn’t lose touch with people who aren’t in college or who aren’t studying the same things.

The Hebrew Bible/Old Testament

But I personally think studying the Hebrew Bible is the most practical thing possible! I’m finishing my master’s degree now, planning to do a PhD, and I would love to teach at the university level—or teach anywhere, really. I love teaching, love the Hebrew Bible, and I’m up for any doors the Lord opens in that area.

I still feel some pushback—people asking, for starters, why would I go to school for so long? It’s a lot of money to spend on college. Why would I spend my life doing something so theoretical, something so ungrounded in reality? It’s not going to make much money. But what I’ve chosen to study, what I feel called to study—the Old Testament—is one of the most practical things we can study.

We have the word of God. It’s His gift to us, it’s our songbook, it’s a love letter from Christ to His people, it’s our handbook for living. It’s our handbook for how to live in the world God created, how to deal with it, how to love it and nurture it, how to relate to people, how to live as followers of Christ, how to love people, how to bless people, how to be a blessing as foretold in the Abrahamic promise—that through the descendants of Abraham, the whole of the world is blessed. How do we do that? All of that information is in Scripture!

Sometimes people say it feels like God is so far away. But we have God’s word—He gave it all to us in this literarily complex, rich, beautiful book. Why would we not want to devote our lives to learn it and teach it to others? We have God’s presence through this book. It’s the living, breathing word of God, and He uses it to speak to us, to teach us, to lead us, and to show love for us today in everything we do.

• Acting in particular is a fun job when you have a good script. I don’t know about acting when you don’t have a great script. I’m gonna say that’s not a great job, it’s kind of a dumb job. But when you have a good part in a good script, it’s the best job, in a way. – Bob Odenkirk • Acting is the best job in the world. Look at the way they treat you when you turn up for work. They give you breakfast and a cup of tea and ask, ‘Are you all right’ They tart up your face, you say somebody else’s words, then pick up your check and go home. And you get days off. I tell you, it really is the way to live. – Bob Hoskins • Actually, acting turned out to be the perfect job for me, because I had a lot of different interests. I thought about being a priest at one point. I thought about being a teacher. I thought about being a lawyer. But I think acting is probably the best job for me. – John C. Reilly • Amidst all the clutter, beyond all the obstacles, aside from all the static, are the goals set.

And if I wasn’t doing this, I would have to do legitimate work for a living. There are guys out there really working for a living, cleaning streets or coal mining, teaching. Directing is playing. Acting. – William Friedkin • Directing is probably the best job, but acting is really, really great.

I’ll miss that – Robert Patrick • I feel like I have to do the best job I can to basically say, “OK, I understand – you have every right to be angry, but anger is not a plan.

And my responsibility with that gift is to do the best job possible and to re-create real life. – Eric Close • I just try to do the best job I possibly can – put the blinders on, go to work and be the best you can possibly be.

I believe it is important to remain humble and thankful for the blessings in our lives, for the tremendous opportunities that are a result of our musical success. – Mike Love • I love acting. I think that’s the best job in the world, but I don’t really enjoy the career of it so much. You don’t have as much control over your life or the material as you do, well, certainly when you’re a director or a producer, so while I love acting, I prefer to make my living as a filmmaker, but my rule on acting is if somebody asks me to do a part, I’ll do it. – David Hayter • I love being a mom. That’s the best job I’ve ever had. All the other stuff I love the same, but being a mom trumps all of it. – Tamera Mowry • I mean, I hate when actors talk about how hard their job is. It’s ridiculous, because we have the best job in the world. – Jon Bernthal • I really like writing in English, and it’s the best job I’ve ever had. – Nell Zink • I tell you, ‘Firefly’? Best job I ever had. Heartbroken when it was canceled, but had it not been canceled, I never would have gotten ‘Serenity’. I think ‘Serenity’ is the most incredible thing I’ve ever been able to actually get my hands on and do. I can’t even tell you how much love I have for that project. – Nathan Fillion • I think Ayn Rand did the best job of anybody to build a moral case of capitalism, and that morality of capitalism is under assault. – Paul Ryan • I think I have the best job in the world. Seventy-one percent of the planet is covered by water, we’ve explored less than five percent of the ocean, and there are so many fabulous discoveries that have yet to be made. – Edith Widder • I think it’s a tough road if you’re a stay-at-home mom, a working mom, if you have a partner, if you don’t. It’s the best job in the world, and the toughest job in the world all at the same time. – Angela Kinsey • I think I’ve got the best job around. – Ron Wyden • I wanna do the very best job I can to fulfill the trust and faith that people have in me. – Hillary Clinton • I want to do the best job I can. – Lucas Till • I was shocked by the reaction I got for Bleak House. It was very intensive but one of the best jobs of my life. It was a chance to play a character that grows and develops and I was very enmeshed in it. But I didn’t realise how stylish it was and how much people would love it. – Anna Maxwell Martin • I would never really analyse what I do. I leave that to other people – I’m not a critic.

Just try to make the best job of the available material. – Dylan Moran • I’d love to do situation comedy – it’s the best job in show business. – Patti LuPone • I’m not concentrated or concerned with any other factors rather than just being able to do the best job that I can. – Benigno Aquino III • I’m not saying you need to become a spokesperson for every cause your character goes through, but it’s important to absolutely do the best job we can in portraying a disease, and all the crap that goes with it. – Monica Potter • I’m not trying to put on airs for anybody. I’m only trying to impress myself by doing the best job I can do. – Matthew McConaughey • In 1971, after seven years in college, with that magic piece of paper clutched triumphantly in my fist, the best job I was able to get was night watchman on a sewer project in Babylon, N.Y. guarding a hole in the ground to prevent anyone from stealing it. God bless the American educational system! – Spider Robinson • In the nineteenth and twentieth centuries you have these great nation states hurling their young men at one another. The victory was really going to rest on who could do the best job of bringing up their kids to become efficient and effective soldiers. That’s pretty grandiose, I guess, but I do think that, and thank God it’s been the armies of democracy that have emerged from this as the triumphant armies. – Stephen Ambrose • In the theater we’re like blue-collar workers: It’s a physical job, you don’t make a lot of money, and you’re on the road all the time. It’s worth it in that it’s the best job in the world, but you have to negotiate living in cities that don’t always accommodate you. – Randy Harrison • Inner peace is not found in things like baseball and world championships. As long as I feel I’ve done the best job I possibly could, I’m satisfied. – Sparky Anderson • It’s a form of bullying, in my opinion, to make sure that your kid gets the best grades, the best jobs and all that sort of stuff. I just want my child to be happy. I want him to do his best and trust God in the rest, but I’m not going to bully him. – Nick Vujicic • It’s basically the best job in the world. If you’re fortunate enough – and I consider myself fortunate – you get to work with your friends and you get to work on projects that interest you. – James Franco • It’s just really making sure I am doing the best job I can do as a dad. I do think that is my No. 1 job. – Tony Dungy • I’ve already felt that I want to direct. Being an executive producer is like the best job in the world because you make all these executive decisions and then you leave the money to other people. You don’t have to be on set and counting beans. – Robbie Coltraine • I’ve always thought that, as a romance writer, I had the best job in the world. I sit around all day making up emotion-drenched, conflict-laden stories that push my heroes and heroines to the edge of sanity. Then I give them a happy ending. – Ruth Glick • I’ve got the best job in the world being a senator from the United States, a senator from South Carolina in the United States Senate, representing South Carolina in the United States Senate is a dream job for me, but the world is literally falling apart. And we can’t get anything done here at home. So that drives my thinking more than anything else. – Lindsey Graham • I’ve got the best job in the world, and i meet some of the most amazing human beings on the planet. I’m one lucky guy. – Ty Pennington • Keep your head down. Mind your business and do the best job you can. – Bill Raftery • Keeping your head down and doing the best job you can in the beginning gives you the opportunity to be evaluated on the basis of the contributions you are making. [Then], when you feel strongly about your work or about a position, you’ll be given more attention [than] if you hadn’t done that constantly. – Hillary Clinton • Loving you is a full-time job. It’s a great job, don’t get me wrong. It’s the best job in the universe. But it’s not easy. – Carrie Jones • My goal was to do the best job I could in governing the state of Wisconsin, in some cases making very tough decisions to have to bring our spending in line with the resources we had at the state level. – Scott McCallum • My kids complained about Secret Service as they became teenagers, and Secret Service has done the very best job they could accommodating them, so it hasn’t restricted any of their activities. – Barack Obama • My left brain is doing the best job it can with the information it has to work with. I need to remember, however, that there are enormous gaps between what I know and what I think I know. – Jill Bolte Taylor • My slogan is I’m the least qualified guy for the job, but I’d probably do the best job. – Gary Coleman • People ask me, “How’s Teen Wolf?,” and I tell them it’s literally the best job I’ve ever had. – Shelley Hennig • People tell me I have the best job in the world, which is true, but I also work with some of the best people in the world. – Michael Silverblatt • Perform your job better than anyone else can. That’s the best job security I know. – H. Jackson Brown, Jr. • Random acts of kindness and the desire to do the best job possible lead to trust. – Jeffrey Gitomer • So to the best we can, what we do is focus on creating value for others, and how do we do that? We do it by trying to produce products and services that our customers will value more than their alternatives, and not just their alternatives today, but what the alternatives will be in the future. We try to more efficiently use resources than our competitors, and constantly improve in that, and we try to do the best job we can in creating a safe environment, and environmental excellence, and constantly improve at that. – Charles Koch • Society as a whole is better off when information is available to the public.

Elijah Cummings Is Remembered as a ‘Master of the House’ https://www.nytimes.com/2019/10/24/us/politics/elijah-cummings.html

His voice could shake mountains’: Cummings lies in state at U.S. Capitol

By Jenna Portnoy and Ovetta Wiggins | Published October 24 at 1:00 PM ET | Washington Post | Posted October 24, 2019 |

Longtime congressman Elijah E. Cummings was remembered Thursday as the moral backbone of Congress, a leader who — like the prophet whose name he shared — “saw wrongdoing and spent his life working to banish it from our land.”

House Majority Leader Steny Hoyer, a fellow Maryland Democrat, made the biblical comparison as hundreds of current and former members of the House and Senate gathered in Statuary Hall in the Capitol to honor their friend and colleague.

Leaders from both chambers, and both sides of the aisle, lauded Cummings as a public servant who always prioritized the constituents who elected him.

“Elijah Cummings did not just represent Baltimore, he embodied it,” said Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.), recalling the Democrat’s efforts to calm rioting after the 2015 death of Freddie Gray, a young unarmed black man, of injuries sustained in police custody.

“Let’s go home. Let’s all go home,” McConnell recalled Cummings saying to protesters. “Now our distinguished colleague truly has gone home, home to his father’s house,” McConnell continued. “And we pray that our God will now reward the service Elijah Cummings gave in life, with the peace of God which surpasses all understanding.”

Senate Minority Leader Schumer (D-N.Y.) said Cummings was “universally respected and admired in a divided time,” with power that came not from his booming baritone, but from his moral force.

“He was strong, very strong when necessary, but also kind and caring and honorable,” Schumer said. “ His voice could shake mountains, stir the most cynical hearts, inspiring us all to better.”

Cummings is the first African American lawmaker to lie in state in the Capitol. Two other African Americans have received the honor, known as lying “in honor” for nonelected officials: Civil rights icon Rosa Parks, in 2005, and Capitol Police Officer Jacob J. Chestnut Jr., who was killed in 1998 by a gunman who had burst into the Capitol.

Cummings (D), who chaired of the House Oversight and Reform Committee, died Oct. 17, at age 68.

Former presidents Barack Obama and Bill Clinton will be among those delivering remarks at his funeral Friday at New Psalmist Baptist Church in West Baltimore, where Cummings worshiped for decades.

Late Thursday morning, lawmakers and guests stood silently as the flag-draped coffin was slowly rolled into a packed Statuary Hall, followed by Cummings’ widow, Maryland Democratic Party chair Maya Rockeymoore Cummings, and other family members.

Two military guards stood at attention at either end of the coffin.

Current and former members of Congress crowded together against velvet ropes, wearing dark suits and dresses. D.C. Del. Eleanor Holmes Norton was seated between Reps. John Lewis and Maxine Waters, also Democrats. Former congressman Jim Moran stood with Rep. Gerald E. Connolly (D-Va.) and freshman Rep. Elaine Luria (D-Va.).

After the “arrival ceremony,” the coffin was moved to the entrance of the House chamber, where members of the public may pay their respects until 7 pm.

House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) said the coffin was placed atop the same catafalque that held the remains of Abraham Lincoln. She described Cummings as a mentor to generations of young political leaders, quoting his frequent refrain that children are “the messages to a future we will never see.”

“Elijah was truly a master of the house. He respected its history, and in it he helped shape America’s future,” Pelosi said.

When committee assignments were made, Pelosi recalled, Cummings wanted as many freshmen as possible in his committee. “I love their potential and I want to help them realize it,” he said, according to Pelosi.

Cummings was a regular on television news panels and a leading figure in the Trump impeachment inquiry.

But mourners at a day-long celebration in his honor Wednesday at Morgan State University in Baltimore, where Cummings served on the board of regents, said they would remember him as a man who always fought for his city and its people.

“He spoke for the forgotten,” said Emanuel J. Stanley, grand master of the Most Worshipful Prince Hall Grand Lodge of Maryland, a national fraternal organization to which Cummings belonged. “Now he is dancing with the angels.”

Noreen Wright, 59, a home health-care nurse, brought her 9- and 12-year-old grandsons to the historically black research university, saying she wanted them to witness history.

“He’s an icon,” Wright said of Cummings, who she called a modern-day civil rights leader. “He’s someone that the next generation can look at to see how it’s supposed to be done.”

More than two dozen speakers took turns at a lectern directly behind the casket , which was guarded by Prince Hall Freemasons. Local, state and federal elected officials praised Cummings as a champion who expanded health care access, protected the right to vote and fought for educational opportunities for children.

Many also shared personal stories about how he mentored them in their careers and family lives.

“He wasn’t about the people, he was the people,” said Del. Nick J. Mosby (D-Baltimore City). Alluding to Cummings’s dignified response when President Trump insulted him and Baltimore this summer, Mosby said: “He governed with emotion but never allowed emotions to govern him.”

Mosby said he and his wife, Marilyn J. Mosby, who is the state’s attorney for Baltimore, will miss their double dates with the late congressman and his wife.

Former senator Barbara A. Mikulski, who retired in 2016 as the nation’s longest-serving female senator, said Cummings could “investigate, legislate and agitate” and inspired a feeling of connection with every man and woman in his beloved city.

“I’m back!” she told the crowd. “I’m back for Elijah. And Elijah always had my back, and Elijah always had your back, too.”

Making Capitol History, Cummings Is Remembered as a ‘Master of the House’

Representative Elijah E. Cummings, who died last week, became the first African-American elected official to lie in state in the Capitol on Thursday.

By Sheryl Gay Solberg | Published

October 24, 2019 Updated 2:47 PM ET | New York Times | Posted October 24, 2019 |

WASHINGTON — The late Representative Elijah E. Cummings, the powerful Democrat whose booming baritone and impassioned cries for decency reverberated through the halls of Congress for more than two decades, made history one final time on Thursday, as the first African-American elected official to lie in state in the United States Capitol.

A son of sharecroppers who rose to the chairmanship of the House Oversight and Reform Committee, which gave him a towering perch from which to investigate President Trump, Mr. Cummings, 68, who died last week after a series of health challenges, was memorialized by congressional leaders in both parties as a man of faith and dignity, and a dedicated public servant, but also as a friend.

“Perhaps this place and this country would be better served with a few more unexpected friendships,” said a teary-eyed Representative Mark Meadows, the conservative North Carolina Republican whose close friendship with Mr. Cummings, despite their strong political differences, was well known in the Capitol. “I know I’ve been blessed by one.”

Political luminaries and lawmakers — including Mr. Cummings’ fellow members of the Congressional Black Caucus, many wearing African kente cloth scarves — poured into the Capitol to witness his coffin draped with an American flag ascend its marble steps, carried by a military honor guard. The Rev. Al Sharpton came. So did the former House speaker, Paul D. Ryan.

One luminary not in attendance was President Trump, whose fractious relationship with Mr. Cummings hit a low point over the summer, when the president attacked Mr. Cummings as a “racist” and described the congressman’s home city of Baltimore as a “disgusting, rat and rodent infested mess.” Mr. Cummings responded by urging the president to visit.

Vice President Mike Pence, however, was expected to come to to the Capitol early Thursday afternoon, when the coffin was moved to a spot in front of the House chamber so the public could come to pay respects.

Mr. Cummings’ loss was a profound one inside the Capitol, especially among freshmen, whom Mr. Cummings took care to mentor. Speaker Nancy Pelosi called him a “master of the House” and a “mentor of the House,” and described how Mr. Cummings asked to have as many freshmen as possible on his committee because he saw in them so much energy and potential.

Two Democratic freshmen — Representatives Ayanna S. Pressley of Massachusetts and Lauren Underwood of Illinois, both black women whose own elections made history last year — walked out of Thursday’s ceremony with tears streaming down their cheeks.

“Elijah would continually remind us when we came short of our goals and ideals: We are better than this,” said Representative Steny H. Hoyer, the Democratic leader and Mr. Cummings’ fellow Marylander. “That was his answer when confronted with the differences between America’s promise and its reality.”

The service, featuring remarks by leaders of both parties, took place in National Statuary Hall, which served as the House chamber before 1850. Mr. Cummings’ coffin lay just feet from the statue of civil rights leader Rosa Parks, who in 2005 became the first African-American to lie in honor (the title reserved for private citizens) in the Capitol.

Mr. Cummings’ ascent in American politics was, in his own view, something of a miracle. A lawyer and former state legislator, he was the first African-American in Maryland history to be named speaker pro tem. He once spoke of his bringing his father to his first swearing-in after he was elected to Congress.

“He said, ‘Isn’t this the place where they used to call us slaves?’” Mr. Cummings said, recounting their conversation. “I said, ‘Yes sir.’ He said, ‘Isn’t this the place where they used to call us three-fifths a man?’ I said, ‘Yes sir.’ ‘And isn’t this the place they used to call us chattel?’ I said, ‘Yes, yes sir.’”

The congressman said he would never forget his father’s next sentence: “When I think about you being sworn in today, now I see what I could have been if I’d had the opportunity.”

Elijah Cummings lies in state in Capitol Building today(VIDEO)

Published October 24, 2019 9:02 AM

Updated October 24, 2019 12:08 PM | CBS News | Posted October 24, 2019 |

The late longtime Maryland congressman Elijah Cummings, who died last week at the age of 68, is lying in state Thursday in the U.S. Capitol. There was a formal ceremony in the morning open to lawmakers, Cummings' family and invited guests. The public viewing is taking place after the memorial service.

House Speaker Nancy Pelosi spoke at the ceremony and referred to Cummings, who was deeply respected by both Democrats and Republicans, as the "North Star" of the House. Pelosi said that Cummings was "truly a master of the House."

"God truly honored America with the life and legacy of Elijah Cummings," Pelosi said. Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer said at the ceremony that Cummings was "universally respected and admired in a divided time."

Republican Congressman Mark Meadows spoke about his "unexpected" friendship with Cummings.

"This place and this country would be better served with a few more unexpected friendships. I know I've been blessed by one," Meadows.

Cummings' wife, Maya Rockeymoore Cummings, who is the chair of the Maryland Democratic Party, has said her husband worked until the end of his life because of his belief that "our democracy was the highest and best expression of our collective humanity and that our nation's diversity was our promise, not our problem."

Cummings, the House Oversight and Reform Committee chairman and a 23-year House veteran, was a key figure in the impeachment inquiry into President Trump and a recent target of intense criticism by the president. He led multiple investigations of Mr. Trump's dealings, including probes in 2019 relating to the president's family members serving in the White House.

The president responded by criticizing Cummings' district as a "rodent-infested mess" where "no human being would want to live." The comments came weeks after Mr. Trump drew bipartisan condemnation following his calls for Democratic congresswomen of color to get out of the U.S. "right now" and go back to their "broken and crime-infested" places of origin.

A sharecropper's son, Cummings was a formidable orator who passionately advocated for the poor in his black-majority district, which encompasses a large portion of Baltimore as well as more well-to-do suburbs.

After Mr. Trump's criticism, Cummings replied that government officials must stop making "hateful, incendiary comments" that only serve to divide and distract the nation from its real problems, including mass shootings and white supremacy.

"Those in the highest levels of the government must stop invoking fear, using racist language and encouraging reprehensible behavior," Cummings said in a speech at the National Press Club.

Throughout his career, Cummings used his fiery voice to highlight the struggles and needs of inner-city residents. He was a firm believer in some much-debated approaches to help the poor and addicted, such as needle exchange programs as a way to reduce the spread of AIDS. Cummings was very popular in his district, where he was a key member of the community.

Cummings said in an interview with "60 Minutes" in January that he was one of the few members of Congress who lived in an inner city environment.

"I like to be among my constituents," he said. "Let me tell you something man, if I don't do well in this block I'm in trouble. I mean, if you wanna take a poll, if I lost in this block I might as well go — I might as well stay home."

Rep. Elijah Cummings hailed as a guiding light for Democrats

House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, R-Ky., and other congressional leaders spoke at the arrival ceremony.

WASHINGTON — The late Rep. Elijah Cummings was hailed as the "North Star" for fellow House Democrats as congressional leaders and colleagues paid tribute to him at a Capitol ceremony Thursday.

House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., a close personal and political ally, said that not only was Cummings a guiding light, "Elijah was truly a master of the House."

Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, R-Ky., recalled Cummings' efforts to calm his native Baltimore amid violent 2015 protests following the death of a black man, Freddie Gray, in police custody. Cummings' involvement, taking to the streets with a bullhorn, helped quiet the disturbances.

By day, Cummings was at the Capitol in the halls of power, McConnell said, but at night he returned to Baltimore to encourage unity.

"Let's go home. Let's all go home," McConnell recalled Cummings saying at the time. "Now our distinguished colleague truly has gone home."

House Majority Leader Steny Hoyer, D-Md., said that like Cummings' namesake, the Prophet Elijah, the congressman "saw wrongdoing and spent his life working to banish it from our land."

Hoyer also recalled the 2015 Baltimore protests and said Cummings was "a calming influence in a sea of rage."

The son of sharecroppers, Cummings rose to become a civil rights champion and chairman of the House Oversight and Reform Committee, where he was a leader of an impeachment inquiry of President Donald Trump.

Cummings died Oct. 17 after complications from long-standing health problems.

Hoyer and other speakers remembered a frequent Cummings lament when events went awry or politicians acted badly: "We are better than this," Cummings would thunder to all who would listen.

Rep. Karen Bass, D-Calif., chairwoman of the Congressional Black Caucus, said Cummings was respected and revered in the caucus, "a quiet giant" whose words were heeded.

"He pulled no punches. He was authentic to the core and a champion of our democracy," Bass said.

Rep. Mark Meadows, a North Carolina Republican who frequently sparred with Cummings on the Oversight and Reform Committee, called Cummings a close friend whose "smile would consume his whole face."

But Cummings "also had eyes that would pierce through anybody that was standing in his way," Meadows recalled. Bowing his head, Meadows sad he was blessed to know Cummings, adding: "Perhaps this place and this country would be better served with a few more unexpected friendships."

The public was to have the chance to pay respects to Cummings later Thursday in Statuary Hall. Cummings is just the third African American to lie in honor at the Capitol and the first black lawmaker.

A wake and funeral are planned Friday in Baltimore.

As a tribute to Cummings, no votes were scheduled Thursday in the House.

Yep. We lost another female star. And she was in the bottom two with another female star. This apparently has never happened before on Dancing with the Stars and I’m not entirely sure what’s behind it. (Besides the obvious--the women are voting for the men because they are cute. I guess there is no ugly guy no one wants to ogle to get rid of first? I don’t know).

Anyway, it was also Halloween night--which is probably the antithesis to Disney Night so it’s funny they followed each other this year. But it’s always a frightfully fun night, so let’s see what unfolded!

Mary Lou and Sasha: It’s a shame she went home this week. She was getting better and better. Her tango with Sasha was an absolute treat and she handled playing a demonic teacher punishing a troublesome student very well. I can’t wait to see her again at the finale!

Juan Pablo and Cheryl: His jive was amazing but I feel we’re back to the feeling that of course it is. We expect him to be really good. He needs to wow us. I felt he and Cheryl could’ve had a bigger ending. The one they had just felt like the music stopped. Not really a proper ending in my opinion.

Milo and Witney: Now that’s how you wow! Milo is very close to Juan Pablo in the “we expect him to do well” category but this contemporary blew everyone away. I think I sat there with my mouth hanging open, watching as he executed the routine perfectly and exuded such a disturbing air as a patient in an asylum. Bravo, Milo!

Evanna and Keo: Evanna expressed frustration about her scores and decided to stop trying to dance for the judges. Rather she was going to dance for herself and then delivered an amazing tango. She exuded confidence and carried herself well as she danced as a black cat. The judges definitely noticed and gave her some of her best scores of the season.

Alexis and Alan: The saga of their growing feelings continued this week. Alexis admitted she had feelings for him and asked him about his. He deflected, saying that he would let her know but wanted time to understand what he was feeling for her. It didn’t affect their Willy Wonka inspired jazz number, which they performed well enough even though the musicians seemed to struggle with the music. It even dropped out at one point but Alexis never lost the beat! My guess is that they had to censor the song so much, it just got confusing. But I’m impressed with how well Alexis handled it.

DeMarcus and Lindsay: I’m not sure the “bride comes back from the grave for her groom” theme was the right choice but DeMarcus did handle the salsa well. I think there were a few missteps but otherwise, it was an entertaining routine. And God bless Lindsay as she continues to do stunts that could lead to some serious injuries should they go wrong.

Bobby and Sharna: Bobby certainly played against type this week and it was awesome. He was appropriately menacing as a serial killer in his tango with Sharna. Was his technique the best? No. But he’s trying and he’s taking this seriously So credit where credit is due.

(He probably still should’ve gone over Mary Lou. Same with the next person on our list).

Joe and Jenna: Was Joe’s dance good this week? Yes, it was. Should he have stayed over Mary Lou? I personally don’t think so but it seems the rest of American disagrees with me. But he did pull off a good tango, even if something went wrong with the final trick. They pulled it off, though, and finished pretty well.

John and Emma: The Beetlejuice theme music is probably not the best choice for a paso. John and Emma tried and succeeded for the most part. There was a part in the middle where he got ahead of the beat but corrected himself. Still, there probably was a better dance choice or music choice they could’ve been given.

Another Halloween night in the books! The couples were very good, though the creme of the crop is certainly starting to pull away from those at the bottom.

Next time: Country Night!
